Tattoo me good

My friends wanted to get some tattoos done by his cousin, who was back from overseas. I have not shot much of tattoos really, except during the tattoo convention recently. So I jumped at the chance of trying to catch a few images and some videos. The video footage I'm still deciding on how best to combine everything. Anyways here are some photos taken back in March.

Getting his coverup tattoo done

Calvin previously had an unfinished tattoo on the arm, so now its completely covered up already. Nicely.

Painful ordeal

This was Calvin's brother. He has many inks on his body. But somehow the chest area was extremely sensitive and painful. It looked really painful. Seriously.

This was the ad-hoc tattoo studio :)

I had went back twice to see the inking process. Waiting to set up a time to capture the finished work soon.

This was another touch up session.

Paying full attention

Dragon & phoenix on his back

The thing I'm impressed was with the variable needle machine. When I got mine (many many moons ago) done I think it only had one speed? Or maybe I was so blur that I didn't notice.

As I said, I'm still waiting to set up a time to capture the guys finished tattoo. Its been almost a month plus. So should have healed nicely now.
